Still not sure why you guys are shocked..
We have played pretty meh all year against good teams - especially at home - and the only teams left on our schedule are good teams

This take is incorrect. Pels have been good against good teams, they’ve been meh in a lot of games they should have won.

Just like last year when we ran out to 1st in the west for a while, we beat good teams who were missing some of their best players.
I know BI is out but how many games against playoff teams did the other side sit on of their bwst?

It happened last year and it’s happening again right now.
We should get some Summer Zion videos though to start the cycle over again..

I hate this. We beat good teams with injured players, resting players, etc. This team has only a handful of really good wins. Crunch time wins are not this teams specialty

I think they’re like 8-14 against the top 6 teams in each conference

It’s unbelievable how many times I have to tell you dumbasses this.
The Pels are 1 of 9 teams in the league with a winning record against teams over .500. We are 25-22 about to be 23.
The clippers are one game over .500. The Mavs are 3 games under .500.
We are going to win 50 games this year and we are going to all be pissed huh.

You say teams without their star players but you’re talking out of your arse. We’re playing without BI fyi and didn’t have Trey Murphy for extended periods. The facts are we have been pretty good against good teams.

Stop it. There were so many things wrong with this game. Every fan has a right to be pissed. The energy, gameplan, rotations, coaching, etc. it was honestly absurd for this time of the year in s crucial game to have these issues. Fans have EVERY right to bash this team tonight- its deserved!

You are mistaking my thoughts here.
Tonight was a shite show and anyone and everyone should be pissed.
I was sitting way in the back and sitting very quietly on the fire Willie bus unlike others that have been leading that bus for weeks/months, but I got no problem taking the wheel of that bus now.

Ok gotchya. My bad. I misread that.

The first half of the season, we lost games we should not have lost against sub-par teams, but did pretty well against better teams. The second half of the season, for which we were healthier as a whole than most teams, it’s been the opposite. The later you get into the season, the more it becomes like playoff basketball, with teams jockeying for playoff position and more physical play being allowed. Haven’t missed seeing a game this year, and watch a lot of the games of teams around us in the standings. The “dumbasses” are much more in tune with reality than you are, unfortunately. Dallas would absolutely smoke the Pels in a 7 game series. Just watch the remaining games of the season and see where we stand. BI helps, but most of the same weaknesses still exist for this time of year.

They’re not losing out. However the play-in is looking increasingly likely

We go 4-3 in our last seven and we get the 6 seed even if one of those losses is in Phoenix. In this case, the Suns could only lose two of these games to get the 6 seed.
Wolves are in a 3 way fight for the 1 seed. Clippers are in fight with Dallas for the 4. Kings trying to stay out of the 9v10. Nobody on their schedule is taking a night off.
We beat SA, POR then all we'd have to find is 2 more wins out of Orl, GS, Sac, LAL and Phx. If we can't do that then we really crapped the bed

Not making the playoffs is now a larger than 20% shot
I'd ask:
- What % chance do we fall to the 7 seed
- What % chance do we lose to the 8 seed at home
- What % chance do we lose to the 9/10 winner at home
Would be tough to see how that arrives at 20%, but not sure if you just made it up on the fly or saw somewhere where above 20% was actually a thing.
Per BRef, we're 85% to finish in the top 6 and 97.6% to be in the playoffs. Per PlayoffStatus it's 92%. Per ESPN, 95.3%

Orl: We havent beaten them in what seems like forever
GS: Fighitng for their lives and were on a road b2b
Sac: We should win this as they have injuries
That leaves LAL and Phx
We cant beat Phx and the LAL have the refs
